After investigating some strange behaviour at the recent world cup I have discovered that after enabling and disabling the "pitch walls" KO2CV option, the crossbar lets the ball pass straight through it instead of bouncing it back into play.

So, the "disallowed goals" we saw were in fact crossbar hits.

It was a simple coding mistake on my side which is easily fixed. Apologies to all!

In my experience, in those two situations, the ball will bounce back and hit the heading defender. It may go back and forth a few times, but it will end in a goal.

There was another situation, in one of Chris' games, where a Mr. Dig attempt went "over". In that case it is not clear what would have happened; some of those go in off the bar, some ricochet off the bar and continue towards the other side-line.

After some further thought, I am now not 100% sure these would have ended in goals because I'm not sure what the goalkeeper would do on the rebounds. The only thing I am sure about is the ball will hit the bar, and if it rebounds, be headed towards goal again by the same player.

I decided to try this yesterday. On the very first attempt, a diagonal cross, I headed it towards goal, “gong” - ball hit the bar, and then the keeper grabbed the rebound before my player could head it again.

I sent a video to Camber for analysis.

Anyway, all that means is I can’t conclude all such headers that hit the bar will end in a goal. Some will go in off the bar, some will hit the bar and be saved, and some will rebound back to the player and be headed back on goal. The outcome probably depends on where the header originates, where the keeper is, the height of the header, trajectory, velocity, where on the bar it hits, etc.
